How Maurice does it

grill
  1. 1

    Butterfly each chicken leg by cutting along the bone and opening it out flat.

  2. 2

    Place the butterflied chicken legs in a shallow dish or pan.

  3. 3

    Pour the soy sauce and Liquid Gold over them.

  4. 4

    Snip the fresh sage and thyme directly over the chicken, then add the finely chopped ginger.

  5. 5

    Squeeze the juice of half a Yellow Friend over it and mix everything well so the chicken is evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. (This marinating time is passive and falls outside the preparation time below.)

  7. 7

    Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat and brush with a little cooking oil.

  8. 8

    Grill the chicken legs for about 25 minutes, turning regularly, until golden brown and cooked through.

  9. 9

    Arrange Yellow Friend slices on a serving board and place the grilled chicken on top. Serve hot.
